I'm potentially looking an artist to create a physical piece of art and then send it to me (ie not electronic based). In a way that I can easily hang it up on my wall\display it should I want to, in a fashion that fits the medium used (if that makes sense). So far I've just had friends do work for me, and generally its from people that don't make their living from art so I have no idea what sort of prices this kind of work entails. Actually, I'd probably be looking for several pieces from different artists over a period of time. I'm interested in their interpretation of a vague description rather than laying out exact specifications. For example giving them a piece of music to listen to and asking them to make something 'horrifying' or a passage from a book and tell them to draw something 'happy and carefree'. This goes right down to choice of medium and any other design points that might be relevant. I'd want some kind of pre-work example or indication of ideas, a doodle in crayon, pencil outline, ms paint etc. that I can veto or offer changes too, and I'd compensate for this work even if I didn't want to go ahead. Size wise medium - pretty small, 1 foot x 1 foot (12 inches\30cm) as an approximate maximum for most items. I want the artist to have fun with whatever they come up with and use their own imagination\interpretation. What sort of price ranges are fair in this instance? I guess its a bit too wishy washy at the moment to really narrow things down but a round about figure would really help me, I've got no idea what ballpark this sort of thing sits in. Is my request workable\fun\tolerable for an artist? I guess its down to the individual but I'd welcome it if anyone could point out any cardinal sins I'm committing or other ways I could format this better. [edit - klaivu, I've had your 'One Nation under Cthulhu' as my desktop background for a while now and drat is that awesome. Never knew who made it until now] Cast_No_Shadow fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Jun 25, 2013 |

Your website gives me a 404 PersonalGenius. Medium wise, I'm happy to leave it to the artist so long as I don't outright hate it. Don't have PM's but assuming you have contact details on there I'll have a look and get in touch. Well when the site gets fixed up.

@ people responding to my post earlier. Sorry about the delay in response, I'm already working with someone for one piece but almost certainly will be commissioning more than one. Probably 1 a month for a while, so I'll send out emails as I work my way down the list.
